What shape is the sky?

Question

Have you ever wondered that??

Answer 1

duh, everyone knows that the shape of the sky is a number 4!!! FREAKING AWSOME!


green....

Answer 2

If you want to visualize a model of the sky you can think of it as a dog's toy rubber ball. Picture the sky being the rubber, the earth as the air inside the ball, and outer space as the air outside the ball. Another model is an onion because the sky has different layers. The sky could be the outer layers of drier skin and the earth could be the inner moist layers.

Here's a page with good pictures of the sky from high altitude and space

Answer 3

You know, we assume when somebody asks a daft question like this that they are little kids, and everybody gets nice and gives them sweet, helpful answers. However, this person has been working for 14 years (I just read one of her previous answers), so this is no kid.

Rubber Ducks, you have a serious lack of education. Or perhaps you are just haven’t got visualisation ability. Have you never seen a picture of the Earth as a sphere, and the atmosphere enveloping it? Or perhaps you are unaware that the blue sky is just an atmospheric phenomenon that is caused by blue light being scattered by the atmosphere’s molecules.

If by “sky” you mean the blue stuff, then it is spherical in shape. If by sky you mean everything up there that you see on a dark starry night, then it is for all and intents infinite and has no shape that anyone here could appreciate.

We live in the space age, my dear, and you know nothing about it. That is a great pity.

Answer 4

If the sky is defined as the blue thing above us that often contains white or grey fluffy things called clouds, but which can sometimes turn orangey or reddish colours, then the sky is a big spherically curved shape.

All the atmospheric stuff that you see overhead is on a hollow spherical shell about ten miles thick, that we are inside of, and you can see part of this sphere when you look up.

The astronomical bits 'n pieces that you can see when there are no clouds are perceived as being a part of this sphere. Their enormous distances are not apparent unless using instruments.

Answer 5

The sky is nothing but a large plain.

In geometry, there are 3 undefined terms: point, line, and plain.

Therefore, one can conclude that the sky has no shape.

Answer 6

The "sky", is in reality our atmosphere. Because the atmosphere surrounds the Earth, the sky could be desribed as a hollow sphere.

Answer 7

a Sphere that is basically the atmosphere and air that surrounds the earth and spreads out the light over the "sky"

Answer 8

Since the sky is typically thought of as the air the surrounds the earth, think of it as a sphere that has been hollowed out in the middle. (The Hollowed out part is the earth itself)
